Tips and tricks for spring cleaning your dictionaries

Good terminology is a valuable tool for your translation work. Therefore, like any tool, it should be regularly maintained.

TermStar supports you with proven capabilities, allowing you to efficiently “clean” your dictionaries and terminology: Duplicate filters, combinable filters, and global changes—even across data set and language boundaries.

In this Webinar, you'll learn how to maintain and improve the quality of your dictionaries through terminology management.

Agenda

To start, you'll learn about TermStar's duplicate filters, which allow you to quickly find and clean up unwanted duplicate entries.

Then, we'll show you how to use and combine data set filters to view and check terminology.

You will also learn how to easily make global changes to your terminology, for example, implementing new spelling in one entry, implements it in all data sets.

Finally, we will give you a brief look at what is possible with the features in TermStar Professional.
